23/06/2023 | 12:07:11 Thank you very much, Madam President. Access to the internet, to the global network, has become so essential that some people are even talking about a human right to the internet. I also take note of the fact that others smell a world conspiracy behind this, where the World Trade Organization (WTO) or the World Health Organization WHO are pulling some strings and alternatives are to be sought. Perhaps you should try it once with carrier pigeons. It could be quite an alternative, which could... 21/06/2023 | 16:00:43 Thank you, Mister President. Multilateralism costs money, a lot of money, indeed. It offers gains. Combatants meet at the table, and not on the battlefield. That means that multilateralism not only saves our values.

I would like to take the occasion in my role as General Rapporteur on combating racism and intolerance to inform you and to share some information about the progress the Parliamentary No Hate Alliance made. We had the possibility to meet in May in Vienna in the newly refurbished parliament for a seminar where we not only had the chance to dive deeper into the root causes of racism and intolerance and learn how NGOs are working to empower those who are... 26/04/2023 | 17:00:08 Thank you very much, Mister Tiny KOX. I actually wanted to speak in German. Let me address two different levels to this issue. On the one hand, a very general but very worrying one is, namely, the fact that our world is really in a state of emergency, that our world is on the verge of a real collapse. This is really very, very serious. Thank you, Mister Simon MOUTQUIN, for the report, which is, I think, very very important at this time. There are still quite a few corporations all over the...
